The dawn of corporate PPAs in Ireland

In this insight paper from Cornwall Insight Ireland, we look at Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (CPPAs), an emerging arrangement allowing corporates to contract directly with generators to purchase power. With dozens of gigawatts of renewable generation capacity now contracted globally, we explore the scope in SEM for this type of arrangement to flourish.
